Sounds about right to me! There is some functionality built into PHP that isn't as readily available in CF due to PHP's reliance on existing open source libraries, though. This can make special purpose pages in PHP appealing in an otherwise CF-only site. >Don't this idea will create more problem at the end? >Performance decrase will be big? Yes, this will most likely be a development nightmare at some point. You will inevitably get someone working on the project that doesn't know both languages and will spend time trying to remove the offending one. As for performance penalties, I can't see any reason why performance would suffer just from supporting two languages on one server. Perhaps there's a little extra RAM consumed in the Web server memory space and environment, but otherwise there's no harm. I have a client now that has a Web site written in each of PHP and ColdFusion. We got a dedicated server, and are running both hapily on one box. We're getting ready to start exchanging data between them. -B _____ Brian Panulla [EMAIL PROTECTED] Chief Information Officer 814.238.6680 Elmwood Media Group www.elmwoodmedia.com ______________________________________________________________________ Macromedia ColdFusion 5 Training from the Source Step by Step ColdFusion http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201758474/houseoffusion ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-linux%40houseoffusion.com/ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_linux or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
